I'm with Marjorie. . my mother used to watch cooking shows on PBS all of the time. I grew up with Graham Kerr, and Julia Child. As a young adult, I grew to love the time we spent watching Marianne Esposito and Jacques Pepin. These days, I do not have many opportunities to watch Food TV as much as I'd like. I would consider myself an old school foodtv fan. For me, it all started with Emeril and Bobby Flay. I spent many a Saturday morning with Giada DeLaurentiis, Paula Dean, Alton Brown and Ina. If I have to pick a favorite. . . these days, it's definitely Top Chef. . . pack your knives and go. . . : )-- Lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003374009351818813.post-83856825577703124242010-07-12T12:40:34.687-07:002010-07-12T12:40:34.687-07:00Karen, I posted my foody thoughts on your Facebook...Karen, I posted my foody thoughts on your Facebook page, but before the Food Network, there was PBS with Julia Child and Jacques Pepin and Jeff Smith, the Frugal Gourmet. I loved watching Smith, who was also a minister, until it turned out that he was accused of sexually abusing young men and then he quickly disappeared from public view. That was a tragedy. <br /><br />--MarjorieMarjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10157505682237167283noreply@blogger.com
